It looks like most of the people in this community are on the agreeing side of this statement.

back then people only lived to like 50 so people married young. at 10 a lot of the young men had jobs. they married at 15 or older. the woman married younger. 9 years old probably was considered young. 13 was more appropriate.

but since marrying girls that age was a common practice at the time it was in no way a crime. it was normal. even for Christians. you can't judge someone from 1500 years ago by rules made up relatively recently.
